Blending the timeless elegance of traditional windows with the high-performance benefits of modern glazing, Ecoslim is an exciting new product from the team at Ecoglass. Thoughtfully designed for period properties and conservation areas, Ecoslim preserves the charm of historical buildings while enhancing a home’s energy efficiency.
Mark High, Director at Ecoglass, shares his insights into the development of Ecoslim and highlights the benefits of this new range, which combines heritage aesthetics with cutting-edge performance.
Sustainability and energy performance are key topics in the fenestration industry. While we understand their importance, homeowners are looking for straightforward, jargon-free solutions. They want products that deliver thermal, aesthetic, and functional benefits, all without compromise. We developed Ecoslim to meet these demands.
Using a blend of krypton and argon gas, Ecoslim is available from 14mm, making it ideal for period properties and conservation areas. It meets building regulations while preserving the home’s historical integrity and delivering high levels of glass performance.
Ecoslim windows use a blend of krypton and argon gas, which enhances thermal insulation by reducing heat transfer. This results in more consistent indoor temperatures, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems, offering long-term energy savings, and helping to lower carbon footprints.
Krypton’s superior thermal performance is key to the design of Ecoslim. The high insulation properties of krypton allow for narrower frames compared to conventional windows, making it an ideal solution for maintaining the aesthetic integrity of period properties while still meeting modern energy performance standards.
In addition to its thermal benefits, the gas blend also provides improved acoustic insulation, helping to reduce noise from outside. This is especially beneficial for homeowners in urban environments or areas with high noise levels, offering a quieter and more comfortable living space.
This combination of energy savings, enhanced comfort, and a sleek, slim design makes Ecoslim both a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution for homeowners.
“The growing demand for sustainable, high-performance windows is driving the market forward. Krypton, with its exceptional insulation properties, plays a crucial role in creating high-end glazing solutions, and we’re really excited by the possibilities with Ecoslim,” says Mark.
